So why is DMac in the AB matchday 23 and Mounga not?
That was my biggest gripe with the side vs France, but then DMac actually played OK. Mo'unga is miles ahead of him as a starting 10 though.

Crotty traditional HIA
He just needs to keep it together until after RWC19. He is one big one away from career end

He is Lima, clearly they don't see him as an impact player. He could shut a game down though
Thats what i dont get. Mounga has a ton of attacking ability and a heap of pace. I dont see why he couldnt be a bench impact player.

You'd think the BB/Mounga combination (with BB dropping back to 15) would be better than the BB/DMac combination too.

I think he's a far better runner and counter attacker than Lima. I don't buy that he can't be an impact player off the bench, he breaks tackles for fun.
Per 80 minutes, Mo'unga is close to DMac for attacking stats for a 10.

They are in love with DMs razzle dazzle. But if BB went down after 15 minutes I know who I'd want on the bench

They see him as a starter, not an impact player. That's what I meant

Can someone explain why BB's too short attempt resulted in a Canes scrum please?
For me it's lost control of the ball in the field of play, knock on Canes.
Should have allowed advantage to Crusaders or scrum feed Crusaders?

Ref said he blew the whistle to stop play so scrum attacking team (Canes).

This is a great point. I think that combo gives us more options and provides potentially better security if BB is crocked

Well I'd just like to thank the Crusaders for using a bit of lube and starting slow before getting down to business. Even giving us a little something at the end.
May I suggest discarding the lube for next week, and giving whoever turns up at AMI Stadium a raping they will never forget.
